Ham and Cheese Quiche was always a household favorite when I was growing up.

My mom made this quiche for us for dinners and always served it with a side salad. It is the best quiche I’ve ever had and I will never forget the memories that are attributed with it. It’s also my Grandmothers recipe so that makes it even more special!

In all these years of enjoying this Ham and Cheese Quiche I never once made it myself, which feels weird!

With that being said it was time to make it and share this delicious recipe with all of you.

The perfect part about this Ham and Cheese Quiche recipe is that the ingredient list is short and sweet. There is nothing better than a short ingredient list in my opinion. Every time I find a new recipe or want to make something I get so excited when I don’t have to buy the whole store to make the recipe. You feel me?!?

Chopped ham and cheddar cheese are the specialty ingredients, but there is chopped sweet yellow onion, parsley, eggs and of course the star ingredient, heavy cream. Everything is layered into a deep dish pie crust and the heavy cream egg mixture is poured on top as it settles in to be baked.

It bakes to be incredibly fluffy and light which is probably the most scrumptious part of quiche, the best ones are not too heavy.

Another favorite quiche recipe is this Three Cheese Bacon Quiche, it’s as decadent and flavorful as ever and not to mention so tasty!

Serving quiche for brunch is best but for dinner it works just as well. Add some fresh mixed greens on the side to make it healthier and make it well balanced!
